Chapter 2. Lost and Found.

Kili was in the grocery store going to refill his fridge. Today was the day that he would go to Thorin and Viv's for some moral support and dinner. Lauren, Fili and their kids were supposed to show up too but for the last few years they'd come up with some excuse or another not to. They all hadn't done a lot of things for the last few years. Kili physically shuddered as he grabbed for a gallon of milk, no. He couldn't think about that.

Not today.

From his left came a calling of his name. Kili lifted his head, looking for the source of the noise. Suddenly a pair of arms were wrapped around him solidly, a dark strawberry blonde head pressed closely to his chest.

Kili was absolutely flabbergasted. "Um, Who are you?" He queried gently as he made to unwind her arms from his waist.

The young woman looked up at him with shining, familiar, sky blue eyes.

"Naomi." He murmured breathlessly.

Naomi smiled the most radiant smile at him as he repeated her name in happy realization. Kili lifted her by the waist and spun her in a circle, both of them laughing with abandon.

Kili set her on her feet and held her at arm's length, studying the waviness of her much-darker hair, the sharpened contours of her face, and especially the change in her body structure. The change that he noticed most was the pronounced curve of her waist and hips, on which is hands were currently resting.

"My you got big." He said in wonderment.

She chuckled lightly. "Yeah. That's what ten years'll do to you."

Kili's eyes lit up. "I'm going to Thorin and Vivian's for the weekend. Do you want to come with me? I want to surprise them."

"Yes! What about Mom, will she be there? And Fili? Did they finally get together? Any more kids? Do I have nieces? Nephews? Brothers? Sisters?"

Kili laughed. "I'll tell you everything. Are you-?"

Naomi nodded, suddenly somber. "I ran away. I don't know how long it'll take for him to find me. I don't want to think about that now." She threw her arms around his waist again and pulled him close, wrapping herself in the distinct scent that she had almost forgotten.

When they finally separated Kili took her hand and threaded his fingers through hers. Naomi looked up him with tears in her eyes. "I've missed you."

Kili leaned over and kissed her forehead. "And I you."

The pair finished shopping and they got into Kili's black Jeep, the pair's hands only separating when loading and unloading groceries. Kili pulled himself into the driver's seat and turned the key in the ignition, flicking off the radio as it flared to life. Once on the road Kili placed his hand palm up and Naomi laid hers on top, fingertips brushing between his knuckles.

"What's happened since I was gone?" Her tone would have suggested that she had been to a college or something of the sort.

"You have a twin brother and sister now. Charles and Lilli. They're six and the spitting image of Fili." Kili loosed a breathy chuckle. "They get into more trouble than Fili and I could ever have though. Think kitten on Red Bull and the Energizer Bunny, combined and throw in about seven cups of mischief."

Naomi smiled wider and wider at Kili's stories about her brother and sister. "What about Thorin and Auntie? Did they have kids? Get married and all of that?"

Kili nodded, still smiling. "They were a very…active couple once those walls came down." Kili scrunched his face and looked up at the ceiling of the car as they stopped at a red light. "There are…four? Yes! Four."

Naomi's eyes went wide. "Names? Ages?" She pressed.

"Ami, is the oldest. She's nine, and looks just like Vivian, just slightly darker hair and blue eyes. My God did she ever get the Durin eyes. Then there's the triplets. Mark and Alex look are built and have Thorin's face."

He chuckled. "Those poor boys got the odd Durin auburn hair, though. And Viv's eyes. The only girl in the Infamous Three is the almost perfect blend. Also the only one that Thorin named. Dis has Thorin's jet black hair, and hazel-blue eyes."

Naomi was so wrapped up imagining all of the children that she almost didn't notice that the car had stopped and the engine was no longer running. Kili squeezed her hand comfortingly.

Naomi took a deep breath. "I'm home."
